In cash terms the typical DT9 5 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £292,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 124%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DT9 5 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+42.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.2% | −2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in DT9 5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 30 sales completed in DT9 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 84 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around DT9 5
For renting purposes DT9 5 sits in Dorset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,041 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £721 a month here against £1,661 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £292,500 median sold price, £1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the DT9 5 market
This is a thin market: 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

What another bedroom costs in DT
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DT area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
